    The Torah exists with God always and forever in a sort of lexicon of ideas called "Ein-Soph".
  4. Hi. I would like to...

    Jeremiah 23:24? Psalm 139? Starting at verse 7. It's a very important foundational principle.

On the contrary, it teaches that โ€œone who is familiar with the esoteric cannot but fail.โ€ The reason [for this] is that when a man is occupied with the remainder of the laws of the Torah, his mind will consider points of contradiction at the beginning of [his] analysis. He may declare the impure [to be ] pure, and similar [things]. However, โ€œdrynessโ€ does not result from this at all. But, he will continue his analysis until he comes to the truth [regarding] the law. Alternatively, his colleagues will make him come [to realize his error]. In this [process], he has not sinned at all. This is not the case [regarding] the Account of the Chariot and the Account of Creation, for if he is mistaken in one of the esoteric matters, he has thereby believed in something that is not proper. The Rabbi is teaching about the temporal anomaly I referred to earlier. Individuals who probe into the esoteric are committed to finding the truth. Because of their conviction, they never quit seeking the truth. This is a Mitzvah, which for that individual is on-going. Therefore, as long as they never quit, each and everything they do, in their pursuit of truth, is included in that Mitzvah. If the individual is completely committed, with absolute conviction, to complete their investigation, even if they sin along the way, it's not considered a sin in the heavenly courts. In pursuit of truth, everyone fails along the way. That's why it's called a "pursuit". "Taking a moment" is powerful medicine. Good magic. Smart. Excellent technique. And very wise. I would do well, myself, to follow your example much more often. It demonstrates, above and below, conviction in pursuit of truth. Brilliant. And thank you for the reminder. Sincerely,

    Good to know. I'll cancel my gym membership. ... Kidding. What you're observing is true, but, it's not physiological. It feels like it, but, that is the mind trying to make sense of something which is totally and completely different from anything else it has encountered.
  9. Hi. I would like to...

    1 Kings 4 The "sands of the sea" is a reference to Genesis, the blessing to Abraham, Gen 22:17: "... your offspring will be like the stars in the sky and the sand on the sea-shore." It's the same verse I quoted above. 1 Kings 5:9 ( Christian Bible 4:29 ) ื•ื™ืชืŸ ืืœื”ื™ื ื—ื›ืžื” ืœืฉืœืžื” ื•ืชื‘ื•ื ื” ื”ืจื‘ื” ืžืื“ ื•ืจื—ื‘ ืœื‘ ื›ื—ื•ืœ ืืฉืจ ืขืœึพืฉืคืช ื”ื™ืืƒ And God gave Solomon wisdom and much understanding, and greatness of heart, as the sand that is on the sea shore. Genesis 22:17 ื›ื™ึพื‘ืจืš ืื‘ืจื›ืš ื•ื”ืจื‘ื” ืืจื‘ื” ืืชึพื–ืจืขืš ื›ื›ื•ื›ื‘ื™ ื”ืฉืžื™ื ื•ื›ื—ื•ืœ ืืฉืจ ืขืœึพืฉืคืช ื”ื™ื ื•ื™ืจืฉ ื–ืจืขืš ืืช ืฉืขืจ ืื™ื‘ื™ื•ืƒ That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; It's important that it's clearly stated that the wisdom came from God. King Solomon was not a perfect saint. If it's not written this way, people might question whether or not his intellect was a consequence of working with other-gods and dark forces.
  10. Hi. I would like to...

    1) Your consent to their involvement in your life can be revoked at any time regardless of anything that you have written. None of it needs to be erased. All forms of consent can be revoked at anytime. Yes can become no. No can become yes. That's free -will. 2) Evil sprits have no rights. They have no jurisdiction here, per God's eternal law. That's how and why Jesus was able to cast them out. Anyone can do it. It's a blessing from God Almighty to each and every human being. Genesis 1:26. ื•ื™ืืžืจ ืืœื”ื™ื ื ืขืฉื” ืื“ื ื‘ืฆืœืžื ื• ื›ื“ืžื•ืชื ื• ื•ื™ืจื“ื• ื‘ื“ื’ืช ื”ื™ื ื•ื‘ืขื•ืฃ ื”ืฉืžื™ื ื•ื‘ื‘ื”ืžื” ื•ื‘ื›ืœึพื”ืืจืฅ ื•ื‘ื›ืœึพื”ืจืžืฉ ื”ืจืžืฉ ืขืœึพื”ืืจืฅืƒ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flyers of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. The flyers of the air include the angels. The creeping things include the demons. Each and every human being is blessed with dominion, command authority, over both. Evil spirits have no rights, and neither do angels. They're like forces of nature. Like gravity and electricity. They have no will of their own. They have no rights. They do as they're told. yes First occurrence: Genesis 49:18, Jacob's Prophecy. In the psalms: 3:3, 9:15, 13:6, 14:7, 18:7, 20:6, 21:2 21:6, 22:2, 30:3, 34:16, 35:9, 37:39, 38:23, 39:13, 40:2, 40:11, 40:17, 42:12, 43:5, 51:16, 60:13, 62:2, 62:3, 62:7, 67:3, 68:20, 69:30, 70:5, 71:15, 78:22, 88:2, 88:14, 89:27, 91:16, 96:2, 98:2, 98:3, 102:2, 106:4, 108:13, 119:41, 119:81, 119:123, 119:166, 140:8, 145:19. The above are the chapter/verse designations assigned to the Hebrew Bible. Sometimes the Christian Bible numbers it differently. Based on what you've written, I think 51, and 119 are good psalms to focus on for your situation and any others who are experiencing something similar. The bolded links above direct you to Chabad.org which uses the Judaica-Press translation. It's super-common. The trick is: It cannot be erased, but it can be replaced. Granting these things permission is like a light switch. That's it. On/off. Jesus is teaching this, Mathew 4. แฝฯ€ฮฑฮณฮต ฮฃฮฑฯ„ฮฑฮฝแพถ . It literally means "Go under, Satan". Like a light-switch. Something to consider. Jesus did not erase or undo the demon. He put it in its proper place. Same with the pigs, if you read the story carefully. They went into the swine, and ... splash. 1) They're not doors. They're gates. Genesis 22:17. ื›ื™ึพื‘ืจืš ืื‘ืจื›ืš ื•ื”ืจื‘ื” ืืจื‘ื” ืืชึพื–ืจืขืš ื›ื›ื•ื›ื‘ื™ ื”ืฉืžื™ื ื•ื›ื—ื•ืœ ืืฉืจ ืขืœึพืฉืคืช ื”ื™ื ื•ื™ืจืฉ ื–ืจืขืš ืืช ืฉืขืจ ืื™ื‘ื™ื•ืƒ That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 2) Nothing is ever erased. This is to your advantage. The consent granted to the demons is always and forever. Renouncing the demons with conviction, is also always and forever, retroactively. That's how it works. All you need is conviction and faith. True faith. Deep, abiding, and absolutely true. Forever and ever and always. That is how to master it. Genesis 4:7. ื”ืœื•ื ืืึพืชื™ื˜ื™ื‘ ืฉืืช ื•ืื ืœื ืชื™ื˜ื™ื‘ ืœืคืชื— ื—ื˜ืืช ืจื‘ืฅ ื•ืืœื™ืš ืชืฉื•ืงืชื• ื•ืืชื” ืชืžืฉืœึพื‘ื•ืƒ If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin is crouching at the door. And to you shall be his desire, and yet you can be its master. For the reasons above, you do not need to erase anything. All you need is conviction in your heart-and-mind. You can be its master. May God bless you in all of your ways,
  11. @Ajay0, Perhaps a way to evaluate, in general, the point of view of Australian individuals in regard to "Kosher" is to look at their opinion of ritual Kosher slaughter. When I did this, about a year ago, I found that Australians are fair-minded in regard to this particular religious practice in spite of how it sounds, and the rumors, which are spread. If there is a negative bias, this particular topic, ritual slaughter, exposes it.
  12. Good point. I'll stop replying to your posts.
  13. @Nungali, If you're looking for my transgressions according to Jewish law, they're in the Kitzur chapter 29. https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/4297874/jewish/Chapter-29-Moral-and-Ethical-Rules-Which-a-Person-Should-Adopt.htm
  14. ... and never speaks in praise ... All the conditions need to be met in order to place me in this category.
  15. Noted Sounds important I remember you mentioned it, but I don't remember the explanation.
  16. Ah. Thank you. Your will is to tell me what to do. My will is to ignore the majority of what you say because of the obvious double standard: "do as I say, but not as I do."
  17. If the pattern holds, you've botched it.
  18. What is it you wish me to do, and, how is that related to "do as thou will"?

  20. I'm doing my best. Your patience is always appreciated.
  21. I consulted the oracle. It's response is repeating: "try broadening your criteria".
  22. It's useful. You won't use the quote feature. There's a reason for that. it means you know that clicking the "quote" link on a post will show that you've misread and misinterpreted again.
